TENS is a non-pharmacological, non-invasive method of pain relief, which stimulates the perceptual nerves by means of a mild microcurrent(usually less than 25 microcoulombs per unit of time) to block the transmission of nociceptive nerve signals to achieve pain relief. TENS Unit is optimal in reduce pain caused by old injuries, carpal tunnel, sciatica, menstrual cramps, etc.
EMS is Electrical Muscle Stimulation, is used as a passive exercise technique to stimulate muscles, assist in muscle strengthening, prevent disuse muscle atrophy, increase local blood circulation, muscle relaxation and toning, and achieve the purpose of muscle recovery and conditioning. EMS is used for muscle growth and recovery, making it ideal for sports injuries, muscle spasms, and even helps to increase movement in areas of the body that are paralyzed, such as arms and legs associated with paralysis.
Scientific theory suggests TENS can work in several ways, including: the pulses can block the pain message from reaching the brain, the stimulation triggers the body to produce more endorphins (a natural pain killer) or the therapy improves blood circulation. Some theories posit that it's a combination of both of these effects or maybe something else entirely. Whatever may be the case, TENS units have been proven to work, and the pain relief they offer can't be attributed to the placebo effect.
A: Please follow the below steps to test your tens:
1. Press the 'M' to switch between 6 main modes.
2. Press center button to choose within the built-in 4 modes."
3. Press '-/+' to adjust the intensity. (only the port connected well and pads pasted on your body, could you adjust the intensity)
A: Skin must be clean and dry. Dirty or oily skin will prevent electrode adhesion. Applying a few drops of water after usage will increase the longevity of the pads and let them dry naturally. Place pads on the holder or place plastic film to keep the gel moisture after use.
